چکیده

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a heterogeneous, complex trait that has a major impact on human morbidity and mortality. Common genetic variation may predispose to common forms of CVD in the community, and rare genetic conditions provide unique pathogenetic insights into these diseases. With the advent of the Human Genome Project and the genomic era, new tools and methodologies have revolutionised the field of genetic research in cardiovascular medicine. In this review, we describe the rationale for the current emphasis on large-scale genomic studies, elaborate on genome wide association studies and summarise the impact of genomics on clinical cardiovascular medicine and how this may eventually lead to new therapeutics and personalised medicine.

The Future of Genetics and Genomics

In this forward-facing review, we briefly summarize what we see as the state of modern cardiovascular genetics and genomics before outlining some of the key areas in which we believe there is a need for investment if we are to realize the full clinical potential of the field. There is clearly substantial overlap with the field of precision medicine, yet it may be in understanding where genetics...

Blood and cardiovascular disease: the promise and limitations of gene expression analysis.

Developments in the fields of genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics have modified the definition of complex diseases in recent years. To have increasingly precise protein, genomic, and gene expression signatures would further define disease, advance treatment, and enhance the field of personalized medicine. In the area of cardiovascular disease, these specific areas have not followed parall...
